How do Bit-hdtv compare with hdbits?

[Friendly Fire]

How does one go about getting an account on one of these sites? It appears that you have to know somebody or something? I just got a beefy HTPC going the other day and have a newfound interest in downloaded HD content...before it was just choppy enough to not be of great interest.

You can start with hd-bits.ro. I think it's open for signups and is good enough to start with.

I agree, hdbits is the way to go. Especially if your not looking for pron.

Agreed. It's got a nice variety of 720p x264 encodes, both old and new, and the seeders are coming back (from their extended downtime a couple weeks ago). Their bonus system is the easiest to get points of all the trackers I've seen, so you can either trade in the points to build up an impressive upload ratio, or leech a bunch of HD content and still maintain a 1:1 ratio.

Later request bit-hdtv and x264 invites and then try to trade for hdbits.org.

HdBits is the best for the greatest choice of film (x264 720p) and TVShow. The speed is very very good but it's very hard to maintain a ratio 1:1 BitHDTV has less stuff but it's easy to maintain a good ratio because there is always leechers.
